Using Moodle
Activity Completion and Restrict Access.
First make sure you have enabled all the required conditions.
Go to Site Administration and advanced features and click to enable restrict access
Goto Administration and then by clicking on Editing Settings you will see a list of options, make sure Completion Tracking is enabled
When you Add a resources or activity you are offered Activity Completion options, ensure you add the various options you want ie Require view, Require grade, Require status etc
Restricted Access
In the settings of each activity there is a Restrict Access section. To get to this, click ‘Edit’ alongside the activity you want to restrict and then choose ‘Edit Settings’, or add a new activity, which will bring you to the settings page.
Restrictions can be based upon Activity completion, date, grade, the group or grouping the students are in or even user profile fields. The ‘Restriction set’ button also allows for more complex criteria requiring nested conditions.
Activity Completion
Why use Activity completion?
If this feature is enabled, it is a helpful way for students to be able to track their progress in a course.
It can also be linked to Conditional activities in order to allow the teacher to set criteria, which a student is allowed to progress through a course and access materials.
It can also be linked to Course completion in order to allow both students and teachers to watch progress through a course.
As each activity is checked off as “complete”, the student moves further towards final completion of the course.
For example, a Page might have the requirement to require view; a Quiz might have the requirement to require grade while a Forum might have the requirement to require posts/discussions/replies.
Example
Set up the resources as per normal i.e. include the General settings and Content, then scroll down to the Restrict Access
In the restrict access windows you have several options to set restrictions. In this case, we are going to restrict access based on a Learner Profile Field (created previously) and associated filed options eg in the case Visual, Audio, Multi-modal etc
You can have several restrictions including Activity Completion, this enables you to apply a multi-criterion to restrict of guide a student before they can move on to the next part of a course or specific content.
